The hand that rocks the cradle is the one that rules the world
I love my trusty Motorola Xoom tablet. But I'm interested in getting a Ipad. I have had a look a couple of times at display models and I have never actually used on3 thoroughly. The only downside is the price! I just wanted opinions on the Ipad and your experiences with them. Is itunes easy to deal with? This post has been edited by ~Lady_Muck~: 25/02/2013, 09:53 AM

My husband bought me one, and I was super cranky at him for spending the $$$. The anger lasted about one day. I love my ipad, so much quicker and easier than the laptop and iTunes is easy. Would get used 2 hours a day plus.

I love, love, love my iPad. iTunes is very easy to use. We have 2 other tablets in the house, and the iPad is the only one that gets frequently used, and it used all the time, by all me members of th household.

Why not go with an Ipad mini to start with? Then if you like it, hand the mini down to the kids and buy a bigger one.

I love my iPad mini. Easy to use, and small enough to tuck into your handbag.

I got an IPad for Christmas after procrastinating about it for ages. I'd wanted one since I first saw them but have an iPhone and a MacBook Pro, so couldn't really justify it. But my husband got me one when I said how much. Wanted one, and I absolutely love it. I use it every day, for hours. My MacBook and iPhone still get used too.

I absolutely love my iPad. It gets used every day. It is really handy for uni and studying. I also have an iPad mini which I got for Christmas. iTunes is definitely easy to use. Listen to music, watch movies and tv shows

I love the mini! If you have decent Internet at home then there is no need to get more then a wifi model. I would get 32 to 64GB model though if you are going to be storing music, videos, photos and everything else

I spent months wondering if I'd use an iPad much when I have a pc and a smart phone but oh my gawd, it love it! I have a 32gb - heaps of photos, TV shows, apps stored and so much space for more. Don't see how I could fill the 64gb unless I kept all my photos on it and not on the pc. My Mum is such a Luddite she refuses to get a mobile phone. We got her an iPad for her birthday, she was horrified - now she can't stop raving about this wonderful iPad and how it's made her life so much easier. iTunes is dead easy. I wouldn't get a mini if you've already got a smart phone - the bigger iPad screen is superb. I watch things on iview all the time - screen size is perfect.
